The dead civilians included a group of four men, three women and a child who were found near a road close to the Mindanao State University in Marawi, said Armed Forces of the Philippines spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla.
Eight other men were found gunned down and thrown in a shallow ravine about 6 a.m. on Sunday in Marawi's Emi village, said police officer Jamail Mangadang.

Troops were pressing their assaults on the militants Sunday.
